Thanks for the feedback. I agree.
When talking to people I really want to emote. I am self conscious that people will think I am not interested/excited in the conversation. Through most of my life 'programming/tech' was something that I cared about. I never had any friends/family that cared though. When I became an adult and started working it felt like a re-birth of sorts :)
I just don't ever want anyone else to feel like I am not interested/excited. I will try dropping the exclamation points, and I hope that my enthusiasm still comes through.
- the-dude 6y agoJust to be clear : I am talking about the book, not your HN comment ( for example at https://webrtcforthecurious.com/docs/01-what-why-and-how/ https://webrtcforthecurious.com/docs/01-what-why-and-how/ there are multiple examples )
- jsjohnst 6y agoI’m glad I saw this follow-up reply before commenting, as I was about to respectfully disagree. I only saw one ! in the HN comment you replied to that I thought was superfluous. Checking your example link however, I instead feel your feedback is well warranted.
- ficklepickle 6y agoWow, me too! And I also use lots of exclamation marks when I write! You explained it better than I could have. Glad I'm not the only one.
- lowercased 6y agoMy suggestion would be to throw in related illustrative real world anecdotes that drive a point home (personal experiences of real world impact of the tech or the architecture decisions, for example) instead of exclamation marks. That conveys the 'interested' part, and shows you can demonstrate real world connections to stuff that might otherwise be dry and academic. But it doesn't use exclamation marks! ;)
